Logotherapy
Relevant information about Logotherapy.
- An overview of the treatment
In order to give answers to people today, Logotherapy focuses on the meaning of human existence. It is a psychotherapeutic school that integrates all three aspects of human beings: biological, psychological and spiritual. From this approach, the first man's motivating force is the search for meaning in life. While the meaning may be different in each case, can never miss. In this sense, the question that started speech therapy treatment is: "What I ask of life now?"
Compared with the psychoanalysis, Logotherapy is a less retrospective and less inward-looking method. In general, is focused on the future, that is, the roles and meanings that the patient has to perform prospectively. In this sense, the neuropsychiatrist Victor Frankl, the father of Logotherapy, asserted: "The man is the son of his past but not the slave of his past and his future father." This therapeutic system, understood in a broad sense, aims to help you develop your ability to discover the possibilities of meaning, to recognize and act accordingly. Thus, each person will have the opportunity to develop three core capabilities: the ability to create, their ability to be deeply human experiences and their capacity to suffer.
The philosophy that underpins this work is optimistic, believing in the possibility that each person has to manage a project of your own life. It also includes a very positive view of the world.
However, logotherapy has spoken to the person in their role as protagonists of their own history, its happiness and achievements. So, understand that the man comes to establish itself as full subjects in so far as to find out why and what exist.
- What problem/ s is expected to be solved
The main goal of logotherapy is to provide a therapeutic existential where man can find meaning in their existence, taking as a subject freely and responsibly the consequences of their actions. Thus, logotherapy seeks to bring the person to self-solidifying the senses settle its relations with the world and others.
After the treatment, each one must be able to develop and realize a project. The project is not understood in purely abstract terms. Must be translated into a lifestyle, implicit or explicit subject creatively to the cultural influence in both its individual and social dimension.
The device can be individually speech therapists, and group or family.
Speech therapy sessions are carried out through the floor. In principle, the talks are aimed at deployment of the current situation. Then, if necessary, a detailed study on its biographical context. The goal is to always leave you open to its future.
The speech therapist works as a traveling companion. Through various techniques provide the patient the conditions for the opening to the experience. In this way, affect the spiritual dimension as indivisible whole which will be then translated into a change of attitude needed.
One of the most common techniques is the paradoxical intention. Through this mechanism moves the capacity of self-alienation through the sense of humor. The intention is that the person you want to achieve precisely what he fears, thus the pathological fear is replaced by a paradoxical desire causing the symptom disappears. Paradoxical intention is a therapeutic device that operates on the anticipatory anxiety that reinforces the symptom. It is very useful for cases of phobias, obsessions, insomnia, nervous tics, and even some cases of stuttering.
The derreflexión is another technique that is often used to, in this case, extend the field of view of subjects and thus reduce or eliminate the tendency to hiperreflexión and hyperintention. It is used successfully in some cases of sexual dysfunction or neurotic attitudes, as the victim stance, posture, self-centered and excessive shyness, among others.
However, that is that this treatment brings together a variety of methods including meditation also include speech therapists, guided imagery and “logodiario” (registration awareness and responsibility on the person to a fuller existence.)
Generally, the meetings are regular weekly 1-2 times. The duration of therapy is variable. Also, many treatments can be completed in 20 to 30 hours.
Logotherapy is considered scientifically valid psychotherapy to work with the experience and human behavior.
A correction level is used in the modification of dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors. Also to work some neurosis of psychogenic origin and, fundamentally, those of order noógeno (discomfort caused by moral contradictions.)
However, preventive level, has a wide application. This orientation promotes a lifestyle for the preservation of mental health.
